An idea that came to me while writing my first mail: use JackMix
(http://roederberg.dyndns.org/~arnold/jackmix/) for this effects
routing. There is no automation as of now but it could work better
then having a dozen windows for the reverb of a dozen channels. Will
try that one the next time I do work with ardour...
